LEAH WEIS
INTERIOR DESIGNER & PHOTOGRAPHER
Based in the Chicagoland area, Leah lives on the outskirts of a big city, with big dreams of traveling the world someday. She recently graduated from college and now works a 9-5 job as an interior designer, while expressing her love for wedding and portrait photography on the side. Photography is a passion she picked up as a late teenager and now has fallen in love with its beauty and the love it brings her clients. Art has always been a huge part of who she is whether it is through sketching, painting, and more so now taking photos. She breathes her life philosophy on staying golden on the inside and finding your true essence within yourself while helping others do the same. Always be kind.
Guided by her upbringing, she is highly involved with her faith as it is of the utmost importance to her as well as spending moments with the ones closest to her.
While not sitting on the deck with her family, you can bet to find Leah off in a field somewhere, in a hammock, taking photos, barefoot...yes...always barefoot. She loves everything vintage...rugs, chairs, cameras, the list can go on FOREVER. Also, by looking at her Instagram, it is no secret that she loves plants and nature like no other.
As a hopeless romantic, you won’t be surprised that some of her favorite books include Safe Haven, The Choice, The Last Song...okay all of the Nickolas Sparks collection. However, she is more of a movie gal and will never turn down a War movie, Old Western, such as The Patriot, The Shawshank Redemption, Pearl Harbor, Dances with Wolves...I know, didn’t see that coming!
Music. All of it.
